The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the shooting death of a Buffalo, Kansas man at a trailer park in Dequincy, La. on the morning of Sunday, March 18. Deputies reportedly responded to shooting at a mobile home park at 1600 W. 4th Street at about 4 a.m., where they located the victim.
